From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>
GUEST_HANDLE_64() and uint64_aligned_t allow hypercall ABI structures
to be identical (binary compatible) for 32 and 64-bit guests. They
are currently limited to only being available for use in sysctls and
domctls. Relax this restriction so they may be used by any new
structures.
There is a minimal cost for 32-bit guests on 64-but hypervisors as
set_xen_guest_handle() needs to zero the whole field on
GUEST_HANDLE_64() handles, but this is expected to be less than the
overhead of having to translate compat structures.
